The betas for
Windows Vista (formerly known as Longhorn Client),
Internet Explorer 7 (on Windows XP with SP2) and
Longhorn Server have been started today. If you are not in the Beta, but are a MSDN-Subscriber, you'll also get the Betas of Windows Vista and IE7 of the
MSDN Subscriber Downloads.
In the July Edition of the german magazine
IT-Administrator I wrote the Editorial and an Article about "
The Secure Windows-Server". The Editorial covers some product and technology announcements of Microsoft during TechEd US, and my view of the turnaround and new opportunities in the IT market. In the article I talk about Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, especially the Security Configuration Wizard and how to prepare role-based security templates using the SCW, and I also cover Access Based-Enumeration of Shared Folders.
